He went on to explain that this is because the country requires good governance. Wike said:
“Unfortunately, poor governance, and bad leadership model continue to characterise Africa’s political, economic, security and social landscapes.
“I’m sorry, people forget… When people say zoning is unconstitutional, but you know what is called equity. Equity brings peace. Let everybody be part of it.”
This is the time Nigeria needs God more, says Gov Nyesom Wike
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Wike stated that Nigeria is at such a point of extinction that only God, not man, can reverse the impending disintegration of the country.
He made the comment at an Interdenominational Church Service in commemoration of Nigeria's 61st Independence Anniversary at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Port Harcourt, on Sunday, September 26.
The governor wondered what has become of the nation’s legislature that continues to approve any wish of the presidency, unfeeling about the consequences.

Meanwhile, Chris Ngige, the minister of labour and employment, has attributed Nigeria’s worsening insecurity to unemployment and underemployment.
He urged the elites, particularly employers of labour, to address the twin problems so that peace and security could prevail across the land.
The minister made this known in Abuja on Monday, September 27, while hosting the national officers of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) in his office.
